I know one pronounced An-yell-a. It is Polish I think. I agree it looks like a typo for Amelia when written but it sounds lovely and is a very real name. The one I know is often called Annie.

Typo for Amelia here too.

Not keen as it looks like a spelling mistake for Amelia.

It sounds a lot like Aneela to me which I do like.

Nothing like Anal in my accent as that begins with ay like in hay but I think your name an Aneela both start with an like the word an.

TBF it doesn't make me think of anal at all, it just makes me think you've made a typo in Amelia - as will every single person your DD comes across in life (schools, driving licence, job applications, banks etc etc).

Second all of the anal comments.

Also I'd either think you were a bit thick & couldn't spell Amelia properly or that you wanted some dreadful unique name.

Use Amelie perhaps

Out loud it sounds like you've said Amelia whilst you have a cold.

Thumbs down for all of the above reasons

either a typo for Amelia, if you're lucky, or if you're unlucky and people see that it is Anelia then it's too like Anal.

It looks like you hit the wrong key when you were typing it, unfortunately.

I clicked on this thinking the thread title had a typo for 'Amelia.' So that.

Another no vote I'm afraid. There are so many prettier names that sound similar. That one though is a bit odd.

Agree with above. Abandon.

That you were trying to make 'Amelia' unique. I suspect she would get very, very fed up of saying, "No, not Amelia - it's Anelia" throughout her life.

A mixture of Amelia and Anal. Not good.

It does remind me of anal, like a pp said.
Is it pronounced like ah-nail-yia or ah-neel-yia, or another way? With the firdt pronunciationi hear "I'll nail ya", which sounds vaguely sexual or violent, I think...

You can't spell Amelia.

I'd think the parents couldn't spell...

Not a fan. A bit Amelia, a little bit anal. imo.

Sounds like 'A kneeler' to me, as in something that you kneel on. It will get confused with Amelia too when written down. Amelie is pretty.

My grandmother is called Anelia, she's Hungarian. Very popular name there.
